If no templates appear in the Use: template drop-down, you must ensure that you create a Buyer Match template in Desingly (eMarketing > Desingly). Once created, you will be able to select the template name from the drop-down.
Learn how to create a buyer match template from within Desingly.
You can create a Follow-up Report or a Distribution List of the matched clients in the buyer match area using the buttons below.
Follow-up Report - It contains the client's name, marketing contact, contact number(s), and buy/rent requirements.
You can add a note against the contact via the Add Note button on the right-hand side or Print the report at the bottom of the page.
Create Distribution List - You can group all buyer-matched contacts for marketing or reporting purposes. We provide the option to create a new distribution list or append an existing one. Once created, you can select this Distribution List when sending out bulk marketing or via Filter Contacts.
If you schedule a date and time to send the buyer match, you can view or remove (stop from sending) the buyer match email by going to eMarketing > Email Communicator > View Scheduled/Pending tab.
